Medical marijuana is officially legal in Missouri, but there are some rules you should know about. Here’s how to keep your cannabis legal.

Keep it Under 8oz

Always have Identification

As a patient, you need to have your medical marijuana card printed and available any time you have cannabis. We suggest printing a copy for your wallet and another for the box, bag, or shelf where you store and/or transport your cannabis.

Store it Safely
-
Like any other medication, medical marijuana should only be consumed by the patient to whom it was dispensed. As a patient, you are responsible for safely storing all marijuana products away from children, animals, and non-licensed adults. All marijuana should be stored in the childproof containers that it was dispensed in.
